laravel5-with-Whoops.md

Getting start

Install Whoops (prefer version 2)

cd projectfolder
composer require filp/whoops

Or edite composer.json and set require values, like this:

    ...
    "require": {
        "php": ">=5.5.9",
        "laravel/framework": "5.2.*",
        "filp/whoops": "2.1.*"
    },
    ...

After run:

cd projectfolder
composer update

Customing Laravel5

Open projectfolder/app/Exceptions/Handler.php and replace function render by example in gist:

    public function render($request, Exception $e)
    {
        if ($e instanceof HttpException) {
            return parent::render($request, $e);
        }

        $whoops = new \Whoops\Run;

        if ($request->ajax()) {
            $whoops->pushHandler(new \Whoops\Handler\JsonResponseHandler());
        } else {
            $whoops->pushHandler(new \Whoops\Handler\PrettyPageHandler());
        }

        return new \Illuminate\Http\Response($whoops->handleException($e), $e->getStatusCode(), $e->getHeaders());
    }
